Mass Effect: Fighters Alliance

First look of the new siege game mode:

Your dreadnought will move toward the station. The primary objective is to reach the station. The station has several heavy turrets that will cause a lot of damage to the dreadnought when it is in range, so your secondary objective is to destroy those turrets, by doing so your dreadnought will be able to move a bit faster.
